A Piece of Furry HistoryFrom Dasha "Tigres Euphrates" Clancey:
Own a piece of furry history! YARF! ran between 1989 until 2006, detailing 15 years of furry history. YARF! always strived to be a Literature/Art magazine for the furry community for furs, by furs. Everyone is missing this issue or this issue. Not any more! With the new archives series everyone can own every issue. This five year project intends to archive YARF! from the very first issues to the very end. This is the first volume contains YARF! issues 0 to 5. More will follow as we compile them.

A true piece of furry historyIf you've been in the furry fandom for a while, you've probably heard of "Yarf!". Like a lot of long-time furries, "Yarf!" was one of my introductions to the fandom. It was also the first fanzine I ever bought, and introduced me to some long-time friends, so it will always have a special place in my heart. It will be no surprise then that I was exceptionally pleased to learn that "Yarf!" was being released in collected form.

The quality of the book is excellent. I was afraid that re-printing source material that is now 22 years old (yikes!) would result in muddy or faded line art, but that's not the case. The page size has been reduced a bit, but this proved not to be any problem or distraction. Reading Issues 1-5 has truly been a trip down memory lane for me. I've enjoyed being reminded of how far we've come, but also how much we haven't changed.

It really is an important piece of furry history. If you have any interest at all in seeing where your fandom comes from, or if you have good memories of the early days of the fandom, it's worth a buy!
